Aqua Market uses the Courier Guy as their preferred shipping method and there is the option for local pickup for your customers too. However depending on your shipping location and where you are shipping to, you may need to use airfreight such as BidAir, especially for large live stock such as Discus when doing provincial shipping, Please only ship Live stock out between a Monday - Wednesday if using road freight to avoid stock being left over a weekend in the depot should the delivery not take place.
If shipping is selected, the client will see a "Request Quote" on the shipping checkout, Aqua Market will then contact you for your parcel dimensions and weight and will update the clients cart with the latest shipping quote once calculated and they will then get an email notification to say the shipping quote has been updated, if you require shipping through BidAir, please contact them directly for a quote and provide us with the shipping price which we will update your clients cart with.
Once the client places the order, you will get a notification of the order and can let us know when you wish for the collection to take place, we will then book the collection for you. We are investigating a more automated shipping calculation method, though it is very difficult when it comes to livestock. So currently this is the most safest and accurate method.
